The objective of this paper is to detect useful clues for improving current English education based on an examination of postwar English language teaching in Japan, focusing specifically on the Amami Islands in Kyushu under US military rule of General Headquarters, the Supreme Commander for the Allied powers (GHQ) . This paper is based on the first interview with five women conducted by the author in 2013. The information from the women who experienced English teaching and learning just after WWII was re-analyzed while talking into account the administration and education offered at that time. Their valuable experiences shed light on the current problems facing English teaching and offer useful clues for materials, methods, and procedures of class development. These are the essential components of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and action-oriented teaching, which recent classroom practice is meant to incorporate. This paper would indicate that history has many examples of educational reform; however, by looking back on the past, we can discover new answers for the current situation.
